Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Marinate pork loin chops with apple juice and rosemary leaves for at least one hour, preferably overnight
Step 2
Toss apples with butter in lightly greased 13×9 inch baking dish or shallow ovenproof Dutch oven. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Marinate chops with salt and brown in hot oil over medium-high heat in a heavy bottom skillet 7 minutes. Remove apples from the oven and set aside.
